Ahh, thanks. So the two are partners, not Boss & Underling.

I'm now 3 episodes behind, but I think it's Boss and Former Boss/Partner's Son. In the second or third episode when Don and Roger get called in to Big Boss's office, they reference a picture where it seems that Roger is a little kid on someone's lap so I took it to be that Roger's father founded firm with Big Boss.

Also, I'm loving their attention to detail. Peter's "old money" family vacationing on Fishers Island is spot on in and of itself, but the fact that that's where the the Bethelem Steel heir's mansion actually was (way back when) is just perfect.

Ah, megan, that would work for the dynamic we see.

Thanks, Megan. Makes sense.

Yeah, that's got to be it -- Roger is definitely the junior partner, so that explains "his" name coming first.

I knew something was up when they gave us the shot of Don's hands and the money as the elevator doors closed,

I totally missed that! Possibly because I was getting dip in the kitchen.

This is taking place in 1960, right? Too bad it would have to go four seasons before The Feminine Mystique comes out in 1963.

Did you have a Chip-N-Dip?

Sadly, I did not. But just imagine what those guys will think of Gladware!

Oh, and I definitely thought they were setting Don up to be Jewish, until they showed his family.

his mother may have been jewish.

Mad Men: Over at TWOP a couple of people have brought up the intriguing idea that Roger realized that Don had set him up. I didn't get that at all from watching the episode and wonder if anyone here did? (I may re-watch on-demand tomorrow.)

Mad Men: Tavis Smiley's interview with Jon Hamm - there is a transcript and audio of the interview.

My take was that it crossed Roger's mind, but he was too drunk and sick to decide for certain.
